This is a short but bright overview of the development of economic opportunities in medieval Europe. I particularly liked the third chapter on the take-off of the commercial revolution, which focused mostly on Italy. Not only does the author outline the conditions which enabled new economic opportunities, but also the conditions that held them back: "economic growth could proceed no faster than the expansion of production and consumption all over Europe" (p. 83). All in all this book can definitely be recommended to readers with an interest in European economic history. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Professor Robert Lopez provides an incisive analysis of the economic structure of the Middle Ages. He makes use of modern economic concepts to explain how an underdeveloped economic system gave birth to the commercial revolution through which Europe succeeded in developing itself. The book goes far beyond the familiar picture of medieval European society, with its magnificent cathedrals and imposing castles, to concentrate instead on the walled cities and open countryside, for it was here that the revolution was born. Deftly and concisely, Professor Lopez traces the history of this remarkable economic upheaval which saw the rise of merchants and craftsmen and the decline of agricultural dependence by the society.
